I'm not that secret - also, the book is written by someone I know. I tried to get a signed copy sorted for you, but I ran out of time and went the Amazon route.

You're very welcome Amy! My first idea was to cross-stitch you something using this cool Lumpy Space Princess pattern I found and to put it in a frame, but I quickly discovered that I cannot cross-stitch for shit. I still have all the things for it (thread, pattern, needles, etc.) so if you can cross-stitch I would be happy to send it to you. Here's a pic:

In any case, I hope you enjoy the book (it's one of my favorite by Toni Morrison) and that you can find a good spot for the pig. Merry Christmas!

I'm saving that for home. I'll post pics later when I upload them. Also, Thanks for the hand written letter. It means so much these days in the world of IM's and texts to receive a nice hand written note.

you're welcome. i'm happy that you like your present. i was a little concerned that they wouldn't survive the trip. and you are an enigma when it comes to your posts. i had to resort to the questionnaire. and i fully believe in hand written notes

Re: 2012 Secret Santa Thread

Well that's why my recipient hasn't yet received the package. Like a dumb, I put the street name as the city name, so it's currently one town over. I just called UPS to update that, and they said it'll be delivered either today or tomorrow.

Re: 2012 Secret Santa Thread

I picked mine up today! It was sitting at the post office for a few days but I just got it and thank you very much Brian P of Ohio! I will post a picture in a little bit but I received a quite nice Slowdive long sleeve shirt that will help to keep me warm in the Vancouver rain. Also were some cute glow sticks and a awesome mixtape that I can't wait to put on!

Received it today! Thank you very much, I love it all!

Six Arizona beers, a How Soon Is Now? pin, and inside the wrapping is Little Dragon's Ritual Union. The beers arrived nice and cold, so I celebrated an early Scotchtoberfest with the Kilt Lifter. Really enjoyed the sweetness and hints of caramel.
